Kit Generations Vol. 1: The Greatest Generation
The inaugural competition invites participants to design an outfield kit for any club team, drawing inspiration from football's old era when many football kits had collars. Designers can base their creations on either the Germany 1954 or Manchester United 1993-95 home kit templates, both featuring the distinctive lace-tie collar.
Competition Rules and Guidelines:
- Designs must be for club teams only (national teams excluded)
- A lace-tie collar is mandatory
- No branding or sponsor logos allowed
- Official sleeve badges are optional
- All colors are permitted for creative freedom
The winner will receive a £50 voucher for NI Clasico's vintage football shirt collection, Belfast's specialist vintage football shirt retailer that, of course, also sells online. Additionally, the winning designer will be awarded a one-year Plus Ultimate membership courtesy of Footy Headlines.
This competition represents the first in a series of planned collaborations between Kit Creator, NI Clasico, and Footy Headlines, aiming to celebrate football kit heritage while encouraging modern creative interpretations.

Inter Milan Wears Sponsorless Kit Against Real Madrid Due to Spanish Gambling Ban
Inter Milan took to the pitch at the Santiago Bernabéu for their UEFA Champions League clash against Real Madrid wearing a completely clean, sponsorless version of their 26-27 home shirt. The usual Betsson.sport logo was entirely missing from the chest, providing fans with a rare and striking old-school look for the Nerazzurri's iconic black and blue stripes.
The temporary alteration was made to comply with Spain's strict advertising laws. Under Royal Decree 958/2020, Spain prohibits gambling and betting operators from featuring on sports jerseys or engaging in promotional partnerships with sports teams. While Betsson operates in Italy under the Betsson.sport label as an infotainment platform to navigate the Italian Dignity Decree, Spanish regulatory authorities enforce a much broader interpretation that disallows the brand entirely. Under UEFA equipment regulations, visiting clubs are required to follow host country laws.
Because of the regulation, Inter prepared a sponsor-free run of shirts specifically for their trip to Madrid, leaving only the Nike Swoosh, club crest, and competition sleeve patches in place. The Betsson.sport branding will return to Inter's kits for their upcoming domestic and European matches where local laws permit it.
Limited to 350 Pieces: Seongnam FC 2026 Third Kit Released
Seongnam FC and kit supplier Umbro have officially launched the club's 2026 third kit. Celebrating an unbroken 11-year partnership between the K League 2 side and the British brand under the concept "11 Years Together, Built for Today", the jersey arrives as an exclusive collector's release strictly limited to 350 numbered units.
The Seongnam FC 2026 third shirt introduces a refined champagne gold and cream base paired with black accents. A classic black ringer collar and matching cuffs frame the silhouette, complemented by black side flanks. Across the body, the fabric incorporates a subtle tonal jacquard pattern formed by repeating Umbro double diamonds in vertical stripes. A prominent condensed "SEONGNAM CITY" sponsor script sits across the center, accompanied by the Umbro logo and Seongnam's iconic magpie crest with surrounding stars. Alongside the cream outfield shirt, an equally striking magenta-pink goalkeeper version in the same template was also presented.
The special 11th-anniversary shirt follows the club's 2026 home and away strips, which were released earlier this year in February.
Persita Tangerang 26-27 Third Kit Released
Indonesian club Persita Tangerang has officially unveiled its new third kit for the 2026-27 season. Made in-house, the release follows the launch of their purple home and white away kits late last month, completing the Pendekar Cisadane's look for the new Super League campaign.
The Persita Tangerang 2026-27 third jersey introduces a clean look based around a deep forest green colorway. The front of the shirt features an intricate, tonal jacquard graphic pattern woven into the fabric, accented by contrasting white piping along the raglan sleeve seams and collar edge. A central stylized monogram crest sits front and center on the chest, positioned just above the Indomilk Moya sponsor wordmark finished in a muted sage tone.
Matching dark green shorts and socks complete the full uniform. The in-house third strip is already available through the club's official retail channels.
Special Virgil van Dijk x Patta Jersey Revealed
Amsterdam streetwear label Patta has teamed up with Netherlands captain Virgil van Dijk and Nike to unveil a vibrant, one-off football jersey for the Virgil's Legacy Trophy. The international under-13 tournament, founded by the Liverpool defender in collaboration with his formative club Willem II, brings together 16 elite youth academies from across Europe to compete in Tilburg.
The shirt draws deep inspiration from Van Dijk's Surinamese heritage, taking stylistic cues from traditional pangi cloth, a brightly patterned woven textile central to Maroon and Surinamese culture. The design ingeniously weaves together the primary colors of every participating club, including Liverpool, Barcelona, Bayern Munich, PSG, Ajax, and AC Milan, translating their identities into an eye-catching, blurred check motif across the entire shirt.
The reverse lists the complete roster of competing clubs under "The class of '26," complemented by a custom Patta x Nike co-branded jock tag on the lower hem.
The bespoke jersey has been created exclusively for the young players taking part in the tournament as a commemorative keepsake rather than receiving a general retail release.
